FLEMING'S OHIO EXAMINER.
(EDITORIAL)
One of the surest indications that a political party is in desperate straits is when it stoops in the gutter to gather its own mud and filth to cast it upon some opposing candidate in an effort to defeat him. Remember how the southern Democrat kluxers tried in vain to so plaster Senator Warren G. Harding in the closing weeks of the campaign which netted him, and the Republican party of the country the Presidency? Surely you have not forgotten that.
Now comes "Fleming's Ohio Examiner," under date Oct. 13, 1934, published at Belle Center, O., a Ku Klux Klan publication, which announces it is issued in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, with a full page of K. K. K. mud and filth, which "outherds herod," in another contemptible effort to defeat the Hon. Clarence J. Brown, Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, at the election, Nov. 6, '34. It is absolutely the most miserably vicious "out-put" of the kind we have ever read. When Mr. Brown was in Cleveland, Saturday, Oct. 20, '34, while in conversation with the writer, he characterized Fleming's Ohio Ex-
ALBERT H. FIEBACH,
The Taxpayers' Candidate for County Auditor—Personal Record—Some Reasons for a Change—A Republican.
Albert H. Flebach was born on an Ohio farm, attended district schools, graduated from Oberlin college and Harvard Law School, practiced law in Cleveland, he has devoted much time to real estate, building and taxation matters, Mr. Flebach has always been active in civic and fraternal affairs and is one of the founders of the Legal Aid Society, as well as one of the organ-
P. H.
izers and first trustees of the Cleveland Federated Charities, forerunner of the Cleveland Community Fund. Mr. Fleibach became clerk, auditor and solicitor of Bratenahl Village in 1918 and was elected for seven consecutive terms. When he assumed office, the village was burdened with special assessments and special levies, a heavy bonded indebtedness and a large operating debt represented. After more than fourteen years of continued office, he left office, Dec. 31, '33, with all bonds retired, some of them five years before they were due; with no special assessments or spe-
aminer Ku Klux Klan diatribe as "a tissue of malicious falsehoods." This is easily apparent to any intelligent reader who sees the sheet. Fleming, it seems, is a character fairly well known in central Ohio, and we are assured that one has only to look up his record to thoroly understand his paper's absolutely inexcusable and unwarranted attack upon the Republican candidate for governor. In some respects, it is even worse than the one made upon Mr. Harding, years ago, and just as that attack netted the latter the Presidency, just so will the Examiner's, insure the triumphant election of Mr. Brown.
In conclusion, it is only necessary to add, as far as our people are concerned, the truthful statement that Clarence J. Brown, when Secretary of State for three terms (six years), gave more clerkships in his office and positions elsewhere in that department, to Ohio Afro Americans than any other Secretary of State in the history of the State of Ohio. Therefore, none of our electors should fail to vote for Mr. Brown, Republican candidate for Governor, on election day, Nov. 6, 1934.
cial levies, with all bills paid, and a cash surplus sufficient to carry on all necessary village functions for the year of 1334, regardless of current tax collections, Mr. Fleibach, a Republican, presents himself as the taxayer's candidate in the hope that he may give the same kind of service to Cuyahoga County that he has given to the village of Bratenahl. The present county auditor, a Democrat, is charged with direct responsibility for the county. In Cuyahoga county, today, because of his failure to audit the books of the county (as required by law) for a period of twenty years, even when he knew a shortage existed in the county treasury. Be sure to vote for Mr. Fleibach when you go to the polls, Tuesday.—Adv.
HAROLD T. GASSAWAY
An Interesting Sketch of His Career
—A Splendid Candidate for the
Legislature—Do Not Fail
to Vote for Him.
Harold T. Gassaway, born at Anderson, S. C., Aug. 5, 1893, was educated in the public schools there, at Clark University, and Howard University, Washington, D. C., where he graduated in law in 1922. He was admitted to the bar in 1923 and has engaged in the practice of his profession in Cleveland, ever since, in all the courts. Mr. Gassaway was married in 1926 to Miss Ethel Sutton of Pomeroy, a young woman of university training. Two children have been born of this union, and together with his aged parents, make up the happy home of Mr. Gassaway at 2317 E. 85th St. Atty. Gassaway was a sergeant in the 349th Field Artillery in the World War, serving in France nine months and on the front about four weeks. He is a member of Boydston Post, A. L. Aside from his law practice Mr. Gassaway has been active in church, fraternal and civic organizations and has made an enviable record for thrift, industry and integrity. He is one of our candidates in this county for the The Gatsby not only recommends but commends him, too, to all voters in the strongest possible manner. Tuesday is election day.
JOHN J. BOYLE.
Candidate for Re-election as County Treasurer—He Has Made One of the Best Cuyahoga County Has Ever Had It Entitled to Reelection.
County Treasurer John J. Boyle has made a very fine record, because he is honest, efficient and experienced in the work, having filled the position very acceptably indeed, years ago. The office is one of the most important in the county, because it handles many millions of the taxpayers' money. Mr. Boyle is responsible for every effort to conduct the conduct of the office and has made a most enviable record along economic lines. Indeed, he has met every requirement of the office and more. What is of a special interest to our voters is the fact that the county treasurer has given our people representation in his office force and if re-elected will undoubtedly materially increase it. He has planned to make further improvements in his office force as beneficial to the taxpayers, therefore our voters to remember John J. Boyle on election day by giving him a very generous vote, because it is deserved. Mr. Boyle's promises, of two years ago, have been kept.

One of the judicial vacancies (local) to be filled. Tuesday, is that for the unexpired term ending, Dec. 31, 1938, of a judge of the court of common pleas. There are seven candidates for this position, one of whom is Atty. Melville Willis Vickery of Lakewood. Mr. Vickery attended the Cleveland public schools, graduating from East High; from Case School of Applied Science in 1911, with the degree of Batchelor of Science; from the Cleveland Law School of Law; and of Clee LLB, cum laud; was admitted to the bar in June, 1914; was admitted to practice in the federal courts in June, 1915, and has practiced continuously since that time with the exception of the war period, from April 1917 to November 1919, when he served as first lieutenant of infantry, spending a year and a half overseas. After the armistice, he served as trial judge advocate and later as a member of the board of reviews in the judge advocate's department with the American forces in France. Mr. Vickery has been a teacher of law for the past fourteen years, and has been dean since the death of his father in 1932. He is a member of the law firm of Bloomfield, Orr and Vickery with offices in the Guardian Building. The lawyers of Cuyahoga County in answering a questionnaire, recently addressed to them, replied that Mr. Vickery clearly possessed the qualifications necessary to fill the office of judge of common pleas court.

We have 55,000,000 acres of rubber-trees in Liberia and just keep growing them, 5,000,000 acres of the plantation, and expect to get 1,000 pounds of rubber a year from each tree.

ATTY. ALEXANDER
"In the first half of 1934 a total of $72,334,115.95 was available to employ, feed, cloth and house the needy. After this sum had passed thru the various administrative channels, too little of it remained for the purpose it was intended to serve. Millions are being lost to the needy because of the alleged necessity of a horde of unnecessary Democratic workers in the administrative depravity in the state. The number of them has 171,896 families on relief. In addition to the families, 49,089 single men and women also shared in relief during the first half of 1934. The total number of Ohioans affected by the fund is 1,003,759. These citizens are not on relief because of choice. They are victims of circumstances over which they have no control. Because of their unfortunate condition they are entitled to every consideration and they should be receiving a larger share of the relief money than they are getting due to the fact that the Democratic political machine has extended itself into this department as it has into other divisions of state and is making capital of the misery of unfortunate folk. If money is intended for relief of the needy, it should be spent for relief of the needy and not in building political fences or furthering the political ambitions of any individual or group. Thousands of deserving men and women are being held to bare existence levels while favored employees of the relief division receive salaries that are far out of the needy's capacity. The number of the $118,000 will be required for Ohio during the present year. Of that sum about $25,000 to 100,000,000 will be into CWA projects and will be into project direct relief. The money earmarked for direct relief. The time has come for reform in all branches of humanitarian effort in the state. Why should an old Ohioan, eligible for an old age pension, be required to list political affiliation? Why should he be required to receive religious and race? Sponsors of the old age pension never intended the injection of politics or prejudice into its administration. They intended the pension law to benefit all in need and not just Democrats or Republicans, Protestants or Catholics, white or black men. I challenge the administrators of this law to cite a single reason why party affiliation fits or unfits an applicant for a pension. The mere fact that the application blanks included the political, racial and religious questions proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that discrimination is being practiced. It is significant that with public tax money is bad enough, but when the needy are sacrificed for that purpose, the acme of selfish interest has been achieved. I charge that the Democratic party is using the Relief Commission and the Division of Aid for the Aged to support the Democratic party. With every

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1934.
Southern Democrats, our bitterest enemies, lead the Democratic party.
When the Hon. Clarence J. Brown was Secretary of State he gave employment to more members of the race than are now employed in the entire Democratic state administration of Ohio.
The most brutal lynching of Claude Neal, last week, at Marianna, Fla., shows better than anything else the civilization prevailing in the southland. That miserable affair can be duplicated in any southern state, and everybody knows it. It is absolutely inexcusable.
---
Bad as the Republican party may be, from a critical race viewpoint, the Democratic party is infinitely worse. The former's failures to act, which are being severely criticised mainly by the young and unsophisticated of the race, are those of omission while the Democratic party's acts are those of commission. For instance: Disfranchisement, lynching, wholesale segregation and denial of citizen-rights in all public places in the South.
---
For many years, unquestionably the leading Democratic daily newspaper in central United States has been the Cincinnati (O.) Enquirer. In a recent issue of that paper, it announced its support of the Hon. Clarence J. Brown, Republican candidate for governor, instead of the Democratic candidate, the Hon. Martin L. Davey. About the same time, the Hamilton (O.) Journal, for years a leading Democratic daily in southeastern Ohio, announced its support of the Hon. Clarence J. Brown, saying: "We believe he has more qualifications for governor than Mr. Davey. He seems better balanced in every way."
In Martin L. Davey's proposal to repudiate municipal and school bonds in Ohio are three fallacies, which are apparent to the majority of the members of his own party as recorded in its refusal to indorse this dangerous plan, and which ought to be apparent to him. Mr. Davey has made this deceptive proposal, supposedly because he believes it to be a popular move which will get him votes at the election. It apparently promises relief for the tax payers of the state. However, should Mr. Davey be elected and be able to put his so-called moratorium into effect, it would react unfavorably upon the tax payers he says he is trying to help. As the Hon. Clarence J. Brown, Republican candidate for governor, well says, if the sacred duty to meet municipal and school bonds as they fall due is nullified, the money already laid away in the sinking funds of the state for the specific funds will be used for operating expenses. Thus, the sacrifice which the taxpayer has made to save the money necessary to meet his community's obligations will go for naught. The money will be wasted and he will be forced to save all over again. That is the first and gravest of the fallacies, for it means, not relief, but an added and unnecessary burden on the people. Mr. Davey's plan meets only the demands of a few isolated sections of the state, and not an overwhelming public sentiment for repudiation. Presented to the last legislature in the interest of the tax spenders of Cuyahoga county it was unceremoniously kicked out. Mr. Davey's belief that his "moratorium" is popular is the second fallacy. The third is that the plan is his and his alone. His party has refused to have anything to do with it. In fact the party distinctly opposed it and voted it down in the recent convention in Columbus. It has
no standing, except that it is proposed—insisted upon—for some unexplained reason by Mr. Davey. In the face of these objections, only one reason is left which explains why Mr. Davey continues to press this credit-wrecking scheme. He is trying to dodge the one important issue of the campaign—that of standing for a permanent plan to provide necessary revenues for the hard-pressed cities and school districts of Ohio.
OUR CANDIDATES.
We have three candidates to be voted for on Tuesday next. They are: Alex. H. Martin, candidate for common pleas judge; Harold T. Gassaway and Chester K. Gillespie, candidates for the lower house of the State Assembly. The success of the Republican ticket in this county and the state is largely dependent upon the volume of support given it by our voters of Ohio. The outlook for several Republican state candidates is far better than the outlook for the success of the local ticket which is largely dependent upon the vote given our Republican candidate for governor, the Hon. Clarence J. Brown. If he is elected by a good large majority over his Democratic opponent, that will help, and materially, too, the local ticket. Owing to baneful race prejudice and the lack of united support from our own people, the prospect of the success of our local candidates is always lessened. The result is that we must give them our united support in order to make up for the loss of votes which will be denied them by prejudiced Republicans, or they will be defeated. Therefore, The Gazette calls upon all of our voters of this city and county to drop petty jealousies, all dislikes and everything else that has a tendency to prevent them from voting for Messrs. Martin, Gassaway and Gillespie. Go to the polls on Tuesday next and give practical evidence of your loyalty, race regard and self-respect by voting for our candidates, particularly, and for the rest of the local and state Republican ticket (with one exception) and for our candidate for governor, the Hon. Clarence J. Brown.
Do not vote for Frank W. Geiger, a candidate for a state supreme court judgeship. Judge Geiger, as we have repeatedly notified all, in recent weeks, thru the columns of The Gazette, showed plainly in the Springfield "jim-crow" school contest that he was not a dependable friend of the race. Therefore, no loyal Afro-American should vote for it.
VOTE FOR BROWN.
When the Hon. Clarence J. Brown was secretary of the state of Ohio, he showed his real friendship for our people by placing more than a dozen of our young folk in responsible positions as clerks and assistants in his office and other departments. The only young lady-stenographer in the capitol at Columbus at the time, a member of the race, was employed in Mr. Brown's office. As a matter of fact, he had more of our people under him in responsible positions than the present entire Democratic state administration has in its employ. In addition to this, one of his pressmen employed on The Blanchester Star-Republican, Mr. Brown owner and editor, is a member of the race. The story being circulated throughout the state by Democrats, to the effect that Mr. Brown's objection to the appropriation of state funds to the support of private Protestant or Catholic schools will effect the State Department at Wilberforce, is absolutely untrue because that department is one of the branches of Ohio State University which has other branches at Athens and Oxford. The Wiberforce, Oxford, Athens and the main section in Columbus constitute Ohio State University.
If the Democratic candidate for governor, the Hon. Martin L. Davey of Kent, who was accused, during the recent primary campaign by members of his own party of having strong Ku Klux Klan leanings, if not a member of that despicable organization, has ever given any of our people employment of any kind, throughout his many years' business career in that city and elsewhere, we have yet to hear of it.
There is absolutely no question as to the DUTY, Tuesday, of every one of our voters in this state, and that is, to vote for the Republican candidate for governor, Clarence J. Brown. Between this and that day, urge every member of the race, with whom you come in contact, to do likewise. The "White" administration of the last four years has failed to measure up in every way and should be voted out of existence on Nov. 6, 1934.
The Gazette urges every Afro-American voter in the state of Ohio to vote for Mr. Brown.
BROWN A WINNER
Contrary to general opinion, the Republican electors of Ohio cast 676,699 votes at the recent primary to the Democrats' 657,920. So you see, instead of the Democrats casting between forty and fifty thousand more votes than the Republicans at the recent primary, as the
THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1934
daily papers stated at the time, the Republican majority is 18,779. In Cuyahoga county, the Democrats cast 111,019 votes to the Republicans' 103,019. Their majority, therefore, in the county was 7,850. This is about a thousand less than the Democrats claimed immediately following the primary. So the outlook for the triumphant election of the Hon. Clarence J. Brown to the gubernatorial chair of Ohio is much better than that immediately following the primaries. And his election will help the local ticket in this and many other counties of the state.
BOHN ON THE RUN.
Mr. Ernest Bohn (councilman) is very much on the run. He imagined that the meeting of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch at Mt. Zion Cong. church, where slum clearance was thoroly discussed, would be just one more session at which a smart politician could throw dust in the eyes of some dumb citizens. But it did not work out that way. Dr. Henry Harap of the School of Education pricked the slum clearance bubble in a thotful address, while the dumb (?) Afro-Americans insisted on asking searching questions. To be sure, Mr. Bohn did not think it was quite fair for them to be so inquisitive, but that did not help him any. The result is that our folk here in Cleveland are thoroly acquainted with the slum clearance "gold brick." Bohn is fooling nobody. Charity hospital may offer him a vote of thanks for reducing the number of their emergency cases, thus making it easier for charity officials to pose as altruists without manifesting too much race prejudice. Beyond that, slum clearance in Cleveland is revealed as one great joke. The philanthropic Bohn has proved himself to be just one more funny man.
ATTY. DAVID COPLAND!
A Real Friend of the Race—Exce
tionally Well Qualified for Service
in the State Senate—Strongly
Recommended.
Now, perhaps, as never before, the people of Ohio are legislatively conscious. Whether it is because of the deficiencies, delinquencies, and cowardice displayed by the Democratic State Assembly or whether it is because of the serious dangers confronting the school-system and the military, Ohio put into effect a permanent taxation program, matters little. The fact remains that now as never before the Legislature of Ohio assumes added significance and importance to all thoughtful citizens. For this reason the electorate is interested, more than ever, in the caliber of men seeking seats in that august body. Congress will elect six State Senators this year. No candidate stands out in bolder relief than Atty, David Copland. Exceptionally well qualified by training
DAVID COPLAND
and experience for legislative duties, and with the mature judgment necessary to help solve the vexing problems which will confront the State Assembly, this winter, Mr. Copland will be a tower of strength in the next State Senate, if elected as every indication now assures. He is well known for the many philanthropic and civic movements in which he has interested himself, and he has taken an active and enthusiastic part in the political welfare of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County for many years. Mr. Copland deserves the support of every voter who desires to see men's utility and integrity interest themselves in the affairs. He is well known and most favorably known among our people of this city for his keen insight and interest in our varied problems, Mr. Copland led the ticket, two years ago, with a substantial majority in all of our wards, will do so again, next month, and be elected.
The Gazette commends Mr. Copland's candidacy to all voters of this city and county in the strongest possible manner and urges them not only to vote for him on election day but to do all they can between now and that day to promote his success.

Brown, Republican candidate for governor, came to Cleveland, Saturday week, to address the City Club, largely an organization of "political technicians" who made it almost as interesting for him as he did for them when replying to their several questions. One of the first special hand relations to the institute of the local Board of Elections when Secretary of State, something demanded by the great majority of electors of this city and county, some years ago. In reply, Mr. Brown said: "My record speaks for itself. When many were deploring the situation in Cuyahoga County but doing nothing about it, I came here and cleaned out your Board of Elections. At that time I called for volunteers to assist in the work, seven citizens sponsored to that call. Of the eleven, seven asked for compensation and four worked for nothing. As I recall it, the gentleman who made the inquiry was not one of the four."
Asks About School Aid.
Another member of the audience asked Mr. Brown about his attitude on the question of granting state aid to parochial schools. "Here comes the bombshell," remains DeVaughan, president of the club.
"I exploded that bombshell long ago." Mr. Brown said. "I have said that while I have the greatest respect for individuals or organizations endearing to advance education thru private or other institutions, I feel their efforts are private rather than public. Therefore I am opposed to the use of any public money or state funds for the benefit or aid of any private or parochial schools. I stand firmly on that statement. There has been no attempt by me to straddle this question or be on both sides." Mr. Brown also indicated opposition to the state liquor monopoly in response to another question, saying, "It seems peculiar to me state had enough money to go into the liquor business when private capital was willing to enter that business. The state had enough money for that and credit to purchase the stock, but no money for education.
For "Reorganization."
"It's a question how quickly a change could be made. The present administration has become so embroiled it would be difficult to do anything until there is some kind of a reorganization. It's peculiar to me that the state is willing to trust almost anyone to sell liquor but no business man can be trusted to sell it in sealed containers."
Asked what sort of a change he would propose, Mr. Brown said he would favor any change that would be for the public good. He was also asked where he would get the money with which to create a state school fund which should be established to guarantee every child in the state a minimum education, and replied that it would be impossible at this time to say what detailed plan of taxation would be necessary to raise the money. It might take an increase in government gross disposed tax or combination of all three. Undoubtedly new replacement revenue will be needed. The Legislature meets Nov. 19 to pass on this very question. It is impossible to suggest a program at this time because nobody knows just how much money would have to be raised. But there shall be no new form of taxation adopted with my consent, unless it is accompanied by drastic economies," he said.
Increase Over 10,000!
In his main address, Mr. Brown said that more than 30 new divisions of government had been created in the last four years. Democratic on the state pay roll had increased from 10,290 to more than 20,000. He declared one of the principal issues in the campaign for governor was "whether to take an honest, sincere, conscientious effort to live within our income and eliminate waste and extravagance or whether to continue the building of this gigantic political organization." The government should be simplified and some of the new functions should be abolished in times of stress, Mr. Brown said. He also asserted the state "had thousands and millions of dollars for the every one of our department that can't be able to find the money to educate boys and girls and pay teachers."
Would Open School Doors.
"I would rather open the school house doors," he said, "than furnish thousands of needless political jobs in Columbus." Davey's Wierd Proposal. Mr. Brown characterized as "weird and amazing" the proposal of Martin L. Davey, Democratic candidate for governor, for a two-year moratorium on principal payments on the schools and school districts. If the moratorium plan were adopted, the Legislature would continue to dodge the task of enacting a permanent financial program. He also said Davey's moratorium proposal was "a cowardly plan of repudiation to dodge responsibility. Referring to Davey's plan to submit to the people a bond of $100,000 for public works, Mr. Davey said:
"I wonder where my distinguished opponent expects to sell $100,000,000 in bonds if the old bonds have been repudiated. I refuse to believe that there is a single problem facing the state of Ohio which could not be solved by application of the old-fashioned virtues of common honesty, common decency and common sense."
U. S. Civil Service examinations will soon be held for many jobs in the new Post-Office. There will be a city civil service examination for junior stenographer soon. Applications must be in by Nov. 3. '34.
THE AGEDS' NEEDS
Being "Capitalized" by Ohio. Democrats—Dirty Politics—Brown Uncover It.
Alliance, O.—"Building a gigantic political machine with public tax money is bad enough, but when the needs of aged men and women are capitalized for political purposes the aeneas of selibal interest has been reached," Clarence J. Brown declared here today in an attack on Democratic administration of the state's Old Age Pension Law.
"Why should an aged Ohioian be required for a pension be required to list political affiliation?" Mr. Brown asked. "Why is he required to name his religion and his color and race? I charge that the Democratic administration in Ohio is using the Division of Aid for the Aged to support such tactics and declare for a clean sweep of politics from this department and the exercise of justice and common sense as intended by the law. I challenge the administrators of this law to cite a single reason as to why party affiliation fits or unifies an applicant for a pension. The mere fact that application blanks included the political, religious and racial questions proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that discrimination is being practiced. Sponsors of the political, religious and racial questions have led the injection of politics or prejudice into its administration. They intended the pension law to be of benefit to all in need and not just to Democrats or Republicans, Protestants or Catholics, white or black men. Justice must be recognized in this department. Not only must politics be eliminated, but the department must show more speed in deciding on applications due to way to efficiency and this humanitarian division of government must serve the purpose for which it is intended. This is only one form of relief in which politics is interfering with justice. Ohio is entitled to more money than it has been getting from Washington and I intend demanding the state's full share. I will not be sidetracked in determining the degree of provision for solid Democratic states. I pledge that when I am the governor Ohio will receive its full share of relief funds and that there will be proper and economical distribution. Relief funds are available to assist the needy and I intend that the needy receive this money. I do not include in the needy class the hundreds of unnecessary political employees that the administration payroll into millions of dollars a year. I believe that relief funds should be used to aid suffering mankind and not to fortify political positions. A gigantic political machine has reached into almost every department of state and has been built at public cost. This machine will not be destroyed, nor economy in government is practiced, until the builders and directors are given the step aside. That command will be given at the election November 6 and immediately after the first of the year the decentralization of this sinister device will get under way."
A special program will feature the closing services in Antioch Baptist church, Sunday. All former members are especially invited to attend. The public is also cordially invited. Seven or eight charter-members of the church and two former pastors, Rev. Alex. Moore of Wellington and Rev. Horace C. Bailley of this city, will be present. S. S. at 9:30 a.m., with Mrs. Ella Brown, its second superintendent, in charge. Dr. Bailley will preach the farewell sermon in the morning. U. S. at 10:30 a.m. Charge of former officers. Evening services will take the form of a prayer and covenant meeting, concluding with the Lord's supper and baptism. The initial service in the new location at 8817 Cedar Ave, will be held, Nov. 11.

A CLEAN SYSTEM FOR HEALTH
Good health cannot be had without regular bowel activity. When your bowels miss acting for a day or two, parts of food which cannot be digested stop in the large intestine. There they sour, release poisoning gases, and a dangerous condition (called "Constipation") is set up. Give out the poisons of constipation by taking Theford's Black-Draught, and enjoy that good feeling of relief which so many people tell about after they have taken Black-Draught. It acts promptly and thoroughly. It tends to leave the bowels in a condition so they will continue to act naturally.

DO NOT VOTE FOR FRANK W. GEIGER!
Judge Frank W. Geiger of Springfield is a Republican candidate for the State Supreme court that not one of our loyal members of the race should vote for. Some years ago when Mr. Geiger was a common pleas judge of (Springfield) Clarke County, he held up a case for months that was of supreme importance to our people of that city who were making the fight of their lives to keep the Ku Klux. Klan from establishing
FRANK
GEIGER
"jim-crow" schools in Springfield. In order to get a decision in the case, they had to defeat Judge Gelger who was a candidate for re-election that fall, and feared to give a decision against the Kluxers. Just remember the foregoing and tell it to all of your friends and acquaintances through the state. You simply can't vote for Gelger and retain your self and race respect.

County Prosecutor Frank T. Cullitan, in his address, Sunday afternoon, at St. James forum, said that penal institutions must be reformed to become genuine agencies of correction, and suggested that segregation be applied not only on the basis of past criminal records but on the basis of intelligence and interests. His speech was non-political.

ROUNDER
ON WHAT'S DOING
Local "Negro" leadership (?)
"The Blossom Triplets" (Payne, Bundy and George), will sure get a trimming, Tuesday. It has done practically nothing to assist any of our three local candidates but has been active in the support of the Republican candidate for sheriff and several other candidates (white) on the local ticket. The Rounder hopes that all of our voters will be loyal to the race and be all in their power to help elect Messrs. Martin, Gassaway and Gillespie as well as the Republican candidate for governor, the Hon. Clarence J. Brown.
In the recent primary election, Wilkerson, a city jobholder from the 16th Ward, was "fired" because of his stand for Edwin C. Barry for the nomination for sheriff. Now it appears that Wilkerson beat a man named Knowles for Precinct committeeman in his ward who it is said is responsible for Wilkerson's being "fired." Wilkerson was put in charge by Mayor Harry J. Hawke, it said Maurice Maschke got Knowles his job originally. Now Knowles is keeping Maschke's office hot in an effort to hold his job after double-crossing Barry and Maschke, it is said.
The Junior League of the Young Peoples' Republican club of the county have finally secured the cooperation of the leaders who advocate a club in each precinct. The League met, Oct. 23, at Republican headquarters, 1240 Huron Rd., where it also has its headquarters. A number of candidates spoke, but none of them even mentioned the Republican candidate for governor, the Hon. Clarence J. Brown, it is said, "Turk" Murphy, chairman of the local Republican campaign committee of 10 (or 11), was present as one of the organizers.
Eric Nelson, manager of the Mt. Pleasant theater, was fined the costs by Judge Kovachy. By their own testimony, all three of the men admitted that they participated in the Mrs. Lonnie Brooks affair. Nelson and Garnfinkel, employees, assisted Nelson in the assault on Mrs. Brooks, and a Mr. Fine is owner of the theatre, says Atty C. K. Gillespie. That was no punishment for Nelson, to say nothing of his assistants in the outrage. Are our local Womans' Federation, the N. A. A. C. P. and attorney, Representative Chester Gilliespie, going to let this matter rest? Get in touch with Judge Kovachy, at once, and see what he has to say about it!
Be sure to vote against the county charter. Most of the divisions of this county do not want it.
